I know I bitch and moan about the darkness every year, but it has its positives too.

That's pretty positive

There is an entire movie about an infamous water park I grew up next to, visited often and worked at as a teen.

Nice @neph93 looking forward to see that soon… if you climp up that mountain you can see the sun... can Aurora Borealis been seen there?

Aurora Borealis is a fairly regular occurrence, although there are never any guarantees. We’ve had two great shows already this year so we’ll cross our fingers for February.

The sun doesn’t make it above the horizon but I’d imagine the light is spectacular from that peak at this time of year.  The view is always wonderful, I’ve been up there three times.

Beautiful, @neph93 so much looking forward to coming to Bodø again.
And an Aurora Borealis would be superb, never saw any so far.

It’s the right time of year, so we’ll just have to cross our fingers and keep a look out.

Winter grouse. May be the same thing by another name?

@neph93 do you find you have to supplement vitamin D up there or are you getting so much cold water fish it comes naturally?

In Minneapolis that stuff helped with my seasonal affective disorder in winter. I embrace the cold, but short and overcast days get to me.

I have done. Not every year though. We do eat a lot of fish, so maybe that helps, but vitamin D is a good thing without a doubt. I have a lot more melanin than the average Norwegian too, meaning I definitely should use it more than I do.

I’m on day 8 or 9 of grey/overcast sky’s and am definitely feeling it.  It gets light around 7:20 am and it’s dark at 5:00 pm and quite honestly, I really dislike this time of year…

I find I really have to get out during midday for a walk, run, anything to keep my spirits up…

Once there is snow on the ground I manage to deal a little better due to the reflectivity of the snow, but right now it’s tough.

My hat’s off to Reuben and I don’t think I would be able to handle it…although the summer I don’t think I would sleep.

Same here… and dense fog since 10 days now. This + a post-covid depression
